Submitted by his wife
Prince was a firefighter for 27 years. He recieved several commendations during his career. He was a role model to the younger firefighters because he believed in what he did and was very good at it. He was known as Pop-Pop at the station because of his age. A lot of the men that worked with him told me they wouldn’t hesitate to follow him into a burning building because they knew that he knew how to be a firefighter.
He served in the Delaware Air National Guard. He was an avid hunter and sportsman. He was very family oriented.
He is survived by his wife Patricia‚ three step sons James‚ Christopher and Kevin. He is also survived by his mother Ruth‚ a brother Tom and a sister Sharon.
